This screensaver was ported from a javascript 6502 emulator written by Stian Søreng.
I wrote a stand alone version of the emulator with a debugger interface: 6502 debugger v 0.3
You can read an online copy of the man page here: man debug6502
Trevor Blackwell is the man. He added the solid state TV effects and scoring.
I wrote this one at the same time that I wrote the pong screensaver. Same idea just in 3d. The motion blur was added by John Boero.
The book "A New Kind of Science" has a lot of pretty pictures. This screensaver and povray program are based on the 3d automata in the book.
Edwin de Jong wrote the awesome pacman screensaver. I added the pixmap ghost and pacman.
I bought one of those tangram boxes they always have for sale at the book store. After playing with it for awhile I thought it would make a nice screensaver. This is also an example of a program that writes programs. The first version was glut and openGl, you could drag the pieces to solve the puzzle then dump the coordinates to stdout.
